Book description
On the morning she will never forget, suburban teenager Cynthia Archer
awakes with a nasty hangover and a feeling she is going to have an even
nastier confrontation with her mom and dad. But when she leaves her
bedroom, she discovers the house is empty, with no sign of her parents
or younger brother Todd. In the blink of an eye, without any
explanation, her family has simply disappeared. Twenty-five years later
Cynthia is still haunted by unanswered questions. Were her family
murdered? If so, why was she spared? And if they're alive, why did they
abandon her in such a cruel way? Now married with a daughter of her own,
Cynthia fears that her new family will be taken from her just as her
first one was. And so she agrees to take part in a TV documentary
revisiting the case, in the hope that somebody somewhere will remember
something - or even that her father, mother or brother might finally
reach out to her... Then a letter arrives which makes no sense and yet
chills Cynthia to the core. And soon she begins to realise that stirring
up the past could be the worst mistake she has ever made... Linwood
